Was thinking earlier on today about how you never hear anyone call a throw-in a “shy” anymore. When did throw-in take over? Was “shy” just a Scottish thing?
What other things do you just not see/hear in sports anymore? You never see Baseball players in stirrups anymore and you never see footballers rubbing vix on their jersey nowadays.

Bye kick seems to have been all but replaced by goal kick. You also rarely see a keeper just booting it long from hand now. It's always a side volley or kicked from ground. Also goalies wearing caps.
Rugby players using sand for penalties and conversions.
Bare foot kickers in the NFL.
I read the other day that the single handed backhand is also on the way out in tennis.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Not a term I ever used but did hear it sometimes from other players back in the day.

Centre back seems to have replaced the old definition of the word "Pivot."
However in the modern game I've also seen "pivot" occasionally used to describe the central midfield player.

You never see rugby players wearing gloves any more, and pulling socks up above the knees in football seems to have died out a bit.

"Crack" European outfit, used by Scottish journos to describe the likes of Dukla Prague or Gornik Zabrze back in the 60s/70s.

Gutties - whether on your feet, or on the golf course!
The "penny tray" in the sweetie shop.
Actually change that to just sweetie shops.
My Nana used to work in one on Princes Street. Imagine the rates these days. It would have to be a "pound tray" at least.

Actually players like Grealish are increasingly a rarity these days. Guys who seem to remember that football is entertainment as well as sport and look like they enjoy playing the game.
Maybe there is a correlation between attitude and sock height?PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Went to Tenerife a couple of years ago with my mates, and it was a hotel you needed your key card to enter through numerous doors to get about.
My mate ozzy lost his, and when he arrived at the bar a bit disheveled, we asked him what was wrong?
Ozzy is Scottish, and he said he had to shimmy up on a wall, and dreep down the other side.
I was the only one out of 8 of us who knew what he meant.

I can’t remember the last time I heard “ a free kick has been awarded for obstruction”.

White things are disappearing or have disappeared.
White hens eggs are becoming as rare as hens teeth.
White dog ***** seems to be a poop into the past.
White trainers are a rarity.Space to let
